1. Actually, Donnie's the classic counter-argument against torture

Obviously he's not the brave soldier who refuses to give up secrets and refuses to "break" under the worst torture.

Instead, Donnie's the sort who would immediately tell the torturers whatever they wanted to hear. It would all be lies, because he wouldn't know the truth if it walked up to him looking exactly like ivanka.

So again, torture is useless.

Then again, if someone has to be tortured....

Jack Bauer, "Tell me where the terrorist bomb is located?"
Terrorist Ally, "I'll never talk you American pig!"
Bauer then proceeds to torture Terrorist Ally...

JB "Where is the bomb or I'll torture you more..."
Terrorist Ally, "OK, it's in the closed for repairs ticket booth at Grand Central Station..."
JB, radioing out "All agents, it's at Grand Central Station, closed for repairs ticket booth."

Bomb goes off at Madison Square Garden...

Bauer gets fired and then replaced by somebody that can interrogate a prisoner without torture.

I disagree.

The hero of the Battle of Studio 54? The man who charged ashore with the first wave during The Invasion of Riverside Drive? The man who won the Golden Mulligan Medal With Fig Leaf Cluster during NDAnam? Ol' Blood-n-Bone Spurs?
